"I was able to use my research skills to assist with a real-life problem with the Stakeholder Engaged Scholarship Unit (SESU). It was immensely satisfying. The research will make a difference to the organisation we partnered with, and for the people who the partners work with. I find that this kind of research has benefited my teaching in sociology considerably through communicating to my students the impacts of migration, the importance of economic participation, and how national and political contexts structure life outcomes."
